It's getting hot around [D] here.
You might [N] know this one.
[F] [Dm] [E] So, um
Nice and steady, chaps.
[B] One, [Am] two, three, [Dm] and
Shiver in the [C] dark
It's [Bb] raining in [A] the park But meantime
[Dm] Tap [C] out the river, you [Bb] stop and you [A] hold everything
[F] Band is blowing, fix it, [C] double-fault
You
[Bb] feel alright, you hear the music [Dm] ring
[Bb]
[C] So [Dm] you step [Am] inside, you [Gm] don't feel too [A] many places
Coming [Dm] [C] out of the rain [Bb] to hear the [A] jazz go down
[F]
Competition in [C] other places
Is [Bb]
hard with [Dm] going that sound
[Bb] [C] We are [Bb] down south
[C] We are down [Dm] south in London

[Bb] George, he [A] knows all the chords
[Dm] And he's strictly [Bb] a rhythm, doesn't want to make you cry, [A] I see
[F] Yes, and an old guitar [C] is all you can afford
Gets [Bb]
under the lights, you hear [Dm] it sing
And [Bb] [C]
[Dm] [C] Harry doesn't [Bb] mind if [A] he doesn't make the scene
Got [Dm] a [C] day-time [Bb] job, you know he's [A] doing alright
He [F] can play the honky [C]-tonk just like anything
Saving [Bb] it up for [Dm] Friday night
[Bb] [C] With the [Bb] sultans
[C]
Oh, with the [Dm] sultans, I'm spitting
[Bb] [Dm] [Am]
[F] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [F] [C]
[F] [C] [Dm] In a crowd of young [C] boys, [Bb] they're fooling [A] around in the corner
[Dm] [Am] Dressed in their [Bb] baggies and their [A] blackboard so
They [F] don't give a damn [C] about any trumpet-played bands
[Bb] Ain't what they call [Dm] rock and roll
[C] And the [Bb] sultans
